A couple of times I've done 360 panoramas for developers of new
buildings from construction tower cranes with a Noblex 150 (6x12
image size on 120 film). Three of these Noblex images make a 360.
They were then enlarged onto 40" high paper, joined and made into a
circle (about 6' in diameter) with the image on the inside. The whole
thing was then suspended, so that the viewer ducked under an edge and
stood up and viewed the image from the center. When you viewed the
image exactly from the center, the image 'popped' into reality almost
like when you get a 3D image lined up. Your eyes/mind then scanned
and made sense of the curved lines.
The images were the views that prospective purchasers/tenants would
have from the building at the selected floor level.
